Predeparture Planning
Congratulations on deciding to spend your next semester or year studying off-campus! We think you’ll find it to be a stimulating, challenging, and rewarding experience. We hope that your sojourn away from Colorado College becomes one of many to all corners of the world, and that you choose to continue your study of other cultures and languages when you return to Colorado College.
The process of preparing for a time off-campus goes beyond just packing. There are logistical things to be taken care of on campus, as well as preparation for cultural and language learning.
